we await ad vote on bipartisan infrastructure bill. president trump is slamming the republicans in the gop working with radical left democrats saying the deal is a victory for the biden administration and a loser for the usa. that does it for us on "fox business tonight." "the evening edit" starts now. ♪. jackie: ♪ good evening everybody and welcome. we begin with inflation. the fed is saying inflation is up notably and likely to remain elevated in coming months before moderating, adding that the path of the u.s. economy continues to depend on the course of the coronavirus. joining us tonight to discuss, senator todd young, fox contributor liz peek, senator marsha blackburn, james comer from house education and labor, michael burgess from the house gop doctors caucus and brian babin from the house border security caucus.

we're monitoring actions on capitol hill. we will have the latest on senators bipartisan agreement on major issues on the infrastructure deal. expect a procedural vote tonight. plus some leading democrats are calling for president biden to erase student loan debt on top of the trillions in spending already being proposed. but there's a problem. in addition to where the money is going to come from. we have the details on that. also defund fallout. after threats to cut the police force seattle's mayor is calling for more police. officers as violence is on the rise. as one major city goes to court to fight against hiring more police. we're also following president biden's moves to boost cybersecurity as attacks surge but just how tough will the president be with foreign actors? wait until you hear the staggering amount of money data breaches are costing in the united states. plus more mask confusion.

the cdc mask guidance getting pushback, including some schools saying they will not force masks on their students. covid positive illegal immigrants being sent to hotels and free to roam. the impact being felt over thousands a miles away as covid infections rise across the country. i'm jackie deangelis in for elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. jackie: well, federal reserve policymakers meeting again today to decide the future of the economy amid rising inflation, increase in covid cases and widespread supply chain shortages so how is the fed going about aiding in this recovery? edward lawrence in washington, d.c., for us with all the details. good evening edward. reporter: jackie, they will try to manage inflation. federal reserve chairman jerome powell made a point to say that he knows inflation is coming in

much hotter than expected. he also downplayed the effects of lasting inflation. powell says they will see in the medium term we'll see inflation but didn't define what medium term was. listen. >> essentially all of the overshoot can be tied to a handful of categories. it isn't the kind of inflation that has spread broadly across the economy. it is new, used and rental cars. it is airplane tickets. it is hotel and couple other things each of those has a story attached to it really about the reopening economy. reporter: he says it will settle but for a third month in a row inflation beat expectations. excessive waves of the virus has less and less impact on the economy offset by the vaccinations. still senator john barrasso believes all the accommodation from the federal reserve being added on to like democrats in congress it all could take, put a stake in the recovery we're seeing. >> but the inflation is what is

eating into peoples paychecks. that is for food and groceries. gas, you just gave the gas prices in california. over $4 a gallon. it is 3.39 in wyoming this past weekend. gas prices are up. housing prices are up. reporter: we've seen it all. grocery store also. a number of district fed presidents say inflation may not be coming down until well into next year. jackie. jackie: edward lawrence thank you so much for that. for more on this let's bring in indiana senator todd young. senator, good to see you tonight. i want to go over inflation adjusted prices we're seeing. gas prices up 45%. appliances are up 29%. this is all year-over-year. used cars up 45%. car rentals up 87%. airline fares 24%. we've got bacon, fish, milk, fresh fruit, they're up in the single digits but still having an impact on consumers. we're seeing a little bit of a rise in wages but you make the

argument once you pay more for all these goods your wages actually went down? >> that's right. we have a cost of living tax increase effectively occurring on the american people right now, jackie. you just listed off a whole range of items. you can add gasoline and groceries and, you go to the restaurant to pay for a meal, those prices are going up. housing costs are increasing. so, though our president promised that we would not see any tax increases whatsoever on americans who make $400,000 or less household income, we're of course seeing that because though their wages may be rising in certain instances as economy opens back up, we're seeing prices increase. in large measure because of $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that wasn't needed t wasn't needed. so you have all the money sloshing around in the price of our essentials are going up. around frankly the people in my state are really upset about it.

jackie: there is so much to get into. i want to try to break it down here. you listen to fed chair powell or anybody from the administration they say inflation will be transitory. so the average person thinks it will go away soon but that is not the they're using the word. actually what it means it won't have a long term impact on the economy but that is not to say we're not going to be paying more for goods and services for a while. at the same time, you have got a procedural vote on the hill tonight regarding this infrastructure bill. $1.2 trillion. some people are saying, oh, my god, we have inflation problem. we just want to spend more money. >> there are different types of spending. this is why i've been critical of the administration. if you're investing in core infrastructure, not human infrastructure, not civilian climate corps, not rebates for electric vehicles, core infrastructure most economists would say over the longer term that would have a downward pressure on prices, so it would

not be inflationary. those are important investments we can make. same thing applies to basic research and workforce training but this is not what the administration is pushing. they're pushing a 3 1/2 trillion dollar package out there and blessedly there seems to be, one of my colleagues, senator sinema who indicated she will not be able to abide by that level of spending. she has received a lot of heat from the "squad" and from others. look, the type of spending really matters here. we have to be responsible, very careful as we emerge from the pandemic to insure we're not imposing unnecessary tax increases through inflation on the american people. jackie: thank you so much for breaking that down for us. you have the 1.2 trillion that is bipartisan looking to solve some of the core issues, long-term investment. you have the 3 1/2 trillion human infrastructure that deals with so many things that are not infrastructure. yet there is one other argument that folks are raising which is that there are funds left over

from the previous $1.9 trillion bill that you mentioned we could use and reappropriate for some of these projects. what's happening there? >> so we're clawing back certain covid monies being sent to the states directly for covid purposes and haven't been needed. we're clawing back some of the unemployment insurance monies being fraudulently accessed by shell companies. and at every turn we republicans have injected ourself into this infrastructure conversation so that we can get core infrastructure at about a third of the cost that you were hearing some of the democrats propose without any tax increases. so that is what the american people want. that is why it is really important that we have republicans who are at the table as it relates to this infrastructure conversation. jackie: that is what the american people were sold with this administration. they said we are not going to raise your taxes. then all of these other things

happened. granted you couldn't control the coronavirus pandemic. some money had to be thrown at the problem. we have to reopen. now we have a delta variant. a cdc reversing its mask mandate policy as well. some folks are saying as we head into the fall, they're worried that this administration is going to cause panic and alarm again regarding the delta variant to try to shut things down and prolong the crisis? >> well, look our kids belong in school. hoosiers and other americans want to be at work and we should look at this guidance. should follow the science but in the end we should do what we've done in the state of indiana, which is make responsible, balance risk-based decisions understanding there is no risk-free environment in this world. we have to deal with some measure of risk and at the same time encourage our neighbors and, and other americans to go out there to get vaccinated for their own health and also for

their neighbors health. jackie: senator todd young, great to see you this evening. thanks so much for your time. >> thank you. >> well, senate leaders say they have reached a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. a procedural vote expected any moment. up next we'll go live to capitol hill for a look what's in the bill and where it could be heading. plus liz joins us. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. >> this is the wrong time to be spending trillions of more dollars that we don't have. everything from gas to groceries, to basic home commodities are skyrocketing in price. people are feeling it in the pocketbooks at the end of every week. ♪ why do you build me up ♪ ♪ build me up ♪ ♪ buttercup baby just to let me down ♪ ♪ and mess me around and then ♪ ♪ worst of all ♪ ♪ you never call ♪ baby daydreaming again?

package, total price tag, 550 billion in new spending. that is 29 billion less than the original agreement, than originally what democrats, mt. wanted to spend on this. look what exactly is in this package, where this money is going. 40 billion for bridges. 50 billion for roads. 65 billion for high-speed internet and broadband. 66 billion for passenger and freight rail and 39 billion for transit which was contentious part of these negotiations. republicans supporting this package are happy they say it is paid for. here is where they're getting money from all this estimated spending. 25 billion in repurposed covid relief money. 50 billion from recouping fraudulently paid federal unemployment benefits. another 350 billion from certain states didn't use total enhanced

amount of federal unemployment insurance supplement. another 28 billion by applying new reporting requirements to cryptocurrency. a look ahead, quickly, jackie, what to expect moments from now as this vote happens, they are expected to have the 60 votes they need to begin debate but really what happens during the debate. if there are amendments presented and approved, added on to the bill that change the underlying basis of the bill is going to cause concern for some republicans. senator tillis and cramer specifically both said while they're voting to move forward on debate, they are waiting to see ultimately if the bill in the end reflects the bill they are seeing today. so a lot could go wrong between here and then and of course once it leaves the senate it is in the house's hands and a lot of democrats in the house are clear they want to make changes to this bill before they support it. jackie. jackie: hillary vaughn, thank you so much for that. joining me now fox news

contributor liz peek. i will pick up where hillary left off, good evening to you, liz. aoc is one person who is very much against this. i want to talk to but the tweet she put out today. i will read it for you. good luck tanking your own party's investment on child care, climate action and infrastructure presuming you will survive a three vote house margin especially after choosing to exclude members about color from negotiations and calling that a bipartisan accomplishment. liz, your response. >> it is really hard to know where to begin, jackie. first of all i don't think we need more spending but i guess republicans have decided they don't want to be the party of no. they have to go to voters in 2022 with having done something. so i guess this is sort of the minimum they could do and still have you know, go to sleep sleep at night but let's remember in the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan passed in march as

sort of an emergency measure, $350 billion went to the states. where is that money? soon thereafter we soon discovered state revenues were actually in pretty good shape. they really didn't need that money. why wasn't that repurposessed for all the bridges and tunnels. i think it is great we're buildingbridges and tunnels. by the way the idea that joe biden has put forward we're going to save money, that inflation is going to be cured by spending money on infrastructure is completely idiotic. it take as decade to build a bridge or tunnel that will not have any impact on inflation for the foreseeable future. i find myself sort of disgruntled by this whole thing. jackie: i hear what you're saying and i don't think you're alone on that. you're right, i think republicans have to look like they're trying to make investment in the future. this was their best compromise, right? senator young on before, listen we're not for the 3 1/2 trillion

dollars in human infrastructure we're protesting. even if this to hillary's point you have things like transportation safety programs as a line item. ev charging stations, environmental remediation, electric grid. moderation. some say this is not a great infrastructure bill either. it incorporates so much green policy into it. >> i think the real question what do democrats do next? in deference to the aocs and the progressive wing of the party which they have kowtowed too enormously since joe biden was running for president, they needed those votes. they made all kinds of assurances they would go with the green new deal. they would incorporate a lot of new welfare programs like child care programs and so forth. so, the question is, are we now going to be still looking at a 3 1/2 trillion dollar bill that democrats will jam through via reconciliation? jackie: yeah.

>> if that happens, these republicans who went along with this bill are going to look really out of step and really like they have done a very poor job. that has to be stopped and i hope the noise out of the left-wing of the caucus doesn't overcome common sense and push forward that kind of spending. jackie: liz, if it is up to nancy pelosi i think you know what the answer is going to be. infrastructure is not only thing we're talking about. senator schummer is looking to spend your tax dollars on something else too. he and elizabeth warren teamed up to have president biden cancel $50,000 of student loans and argue recalling what is hurting borrowers is the economic recovery. your take on this? >> the economy is booming. the economy is going to be growing at seven or 8% in the

next quarter. what is our big problem? it's a shortage of workers. why is that happening? there is a host of reasons but it has been absolutely demonstrated the supplemental unemployment compensation and now the child tax credit payments and by the way, the relief from student loans, all these things are disincentivizing people from going back to work. student loans is just like anything else. it is average of 200 to $299 per month families on average, borrowers have to pay on the student loans. if you basically stop that requirement, you forgive those loans, which by the way has enormous moral hazard attached to it. there is a big problem there, if you do that you're effectively giving those people more supplemental income, more reasons not to go back to work. nothing could be the worst decision right now. jackie: it was interesting about this that nancy pelosi actually said that it has to be an act of congress. this is not something that the

president has the power to do. it is very, not very often that people see eye-to-eye with what pelosi is saying. she makes a good point there. liz peek, we're out of time. great to see you. >> nice to see you, thank you. jackie: thank you. up next senator marsha blackburn for seattle's mayor calling for more police officers after another week of violence, this as one major city goes to court against hiring more police. keep it here on "the evening edit". >> if we don't get serious about a law and order agenda, you will see this spread throughout the country. ♪. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ front desk. yes, hello... i'm so... please hold. ♪♪ i got you.

able to read the legislation. jackie: okay. fair enough. we're also dealing with a lot of issues right now. the economy, the delta variant of the virus, inflation, all these buzzwords keep coming up, we're talking about spending more money right now. your general lay of the land where we stand as a nation as we head into the fall. we're dealing with a pandemic that we're trying to put in in r view mirror. you have an administration trying to perpetuated the crisis >> people in tennessee say we do not want another lockdown and we definitely do not want children in masks at school. we know that children are a very low risk group and to put these children in masks we have heard so much about the issues that have arisen with children, whether it is their emotional or physical health. and it is just not the right step to take. i know a lot of parents are

really upset an concerned about that. and, we are hopeful that people will talk to their medical professionals, if they are able to receive the vaccine. we are hopeful that people will do that. i think president trump deserves a tremendous amount of credit for having brought forward "operation warp speed," that got a vaccine to the marketplace and shots in peoples arms in nine months as opposed to it taking two or three years. jackie: it was incredible. we do hope that more people take advantage of tools right there in front of them as we battle this as a nation together. i do want to switch gears while i have you though, talk about something else plaguing the nation at the moment, rising crime. after a spree of fatal shootings in seattle the mayor looking to rebolster the city's police department ravaged by officers leaving that department after the city council threatens to cut the department by half. now the mayor said it is no wonder that cops turned turned r

badges. listen to this. >> losing these number of officers when city leaders talk about cutting a department by 50%, you will lose employees. families need security. workers, even police officers need working conditions that support them. it is a false choice between community-led solutions and police officers. we need both. jackie: it is not just happening in seattle. we're seeing it in cities across the country, this movement to defund the police, successfully defunded them, we saw a rise in crime. we're looking to reverse those policies. it almost seems like we're spinning our wheels when it comes to this problem. >> i hope our friends on the left have learned a very important lesson. and it is there is a thin blue line that is between calm and chaos and to two through this defund the police rhetoric which the left championed, they led

this push to defund the police units. now whether it is seattle or a host of other cities, what are they doing? they're trying now to backtrack and figure out how they can begin to show support for police. whether it is new york, seattle, or many other of these blue cities, chicago, what they have done is to basically say, it is more important for other priorities than it is to support those police officers out there every single day trying to keep the cities calm. you're seeing crime escalate because criminals have figured out in these cities, that they don't get stopped, whether it is the crime of shoplifting or petty theft or carjackings. all these things are up. criminals, feel emboldened, this is something that the left needs to say, this was a mistake. we support law and order.

we support our police. we support bringing back calm to these communities. jackie: let's hope they do because people are really suffering. >> very much so. jackie: in this country go out to work, make a good wage, put food on the table. we know we live in safe communities. in the last few seconds we have left senator, people are scared and quality of life is suffering and everything else happening around us. >> security in our communities. freedom and opportunity for today and tomorrow's generations, that is the focus for people and i think if you were talking to suburban moms right now, they would say freedom of speech, freedom of choice, for my family, opportunities, hope for better days, secure communities. those are the things that are at the top of the list. jackie: absolutely. thank you so much. senator marsha blackburn. always great to have you on the show. coming up next we have james

fiasco. dhs working together with commerce to create performance goals. a joint statement from secretary alejandro mayorkas around commerce secretary saying this, we rely on resilliance of companies that provide earnings services like power, water, transportation. we look for critical infrastructure owners and operators to follow voluntary guidance. the officials say directives are voluntary but mandatory directives could be on their way. jackie. jackie: hillary vaughn, thank you for that. joining me house oversight reform committee ranking member james comer. congressman, good evening to you. i will start giving you some stats we can ponder here. the cost of data breaches hit a 1-year7-year high.

united states had most expensive breaches, $9 million per incident. in canada, 4.5 million. when you average them all together the estimate is roughly 4.24 million per incident. we're talking about a massive amount of money here around president biden is just getting to form some legislation to help with this. your thoughts? >> well it's, i'm glad that he is taking this seriously. i wish he had started a little sooner. the fact of the matter is the cyberattacks increased sergeantly ever since joe biden took office and the problem is the two primary violators of the cyberattacks are sponsored by the russian government and the chinese government around they don't fear joe biden like they feared donald trump. that's a fact and what joe biden needs to do is hold these countries accountable. unfortunately one of the first acts joe biden did with respect to russia, he allowed them to do their pipeline while he canceled

the keystone pipeline in the united states. that gives russia more money to be able to invest in more cyberattacks and it is just, it is just bad policy. so joe biden can't attack this problem with government passing more laws. you can't pass a bill to ban cyberattacks to solve crime. they want to pass a bill to ban guns. criminals will not abide by the law. the way joe biden needs to tackle this, he needs to hold china and russia accountable. jackie: this is interesting. i want to step back and talk to but the colonial pipeline incident. the situation ended up costing u.s. consumers. gas prices went up trying to figure it out. russian hackers are behind this. the company paid them five million dollars. it makes us look foolish as a nation to a certain extent. you have a president that is letting russia and china get away with it. >> you're exactly right. it is ultimate hypocrisy.

unfortunately we'll have more companies just pay them off to try to get back online. it will cost the american consumers a fortune and increased gas prices, lost production. unfortunately the president did nothing to hold russia accountable for that or china. china continues to attack, knot just private businesses but our government. we're privy to a lot of information up here being chairman of the, ranking member of the house oversight committee, i tell you these cyberattacks get worse. when i go to the pentagon, at the tell me we have a superior army, superior navy, superior air force but we are inferior from the cyber front. our government needs to focus on this. we need to create a new division in the military. we need a service academy to train people in being able to counter these cyberattacks and it needs to be a number one priority for joe biden. jackie: well it is interesting because our government is focused on more spending.

specifically i'm talking about the democrats and the administration at the moment and they're not spending to shore up the infrastructure when it comes to cyber issues as much as they are for example, green energy issues. and so you have got some of us who are taxpayers sitting back saying, where are the priorities here? who is deciding what's important? >> well that is a good question. we ask that question every day who is making the decisions in the white house but the priorities are all mixed up. we need to focus on cybersecurity ahead of these silly green new deal policies the democrats keep pushing on capitol hill because the cyberattacks are costing our consumers. we're at a disadvantage from a cyber front. we've got to change that immediately or we're going to have more instances like the colonial pipeline. what happened with the jbs beef company. that was a terrible attack that affected our food supply and there is no greater risk to our national security than our food

federal law does not prevent an employer from requiring the vaccine. this is obviously all met with a lot of controversy right now. let's talk about it with michael burgess from the house gop doctors caucus. good evening, sir. great to see you tonight. i will start with you on this, congressman. a tweet from marco rubio saying quote, if over 99% of covid deaths are among the unvaccinated how is forcing the vaccinated to wear masks any sense? if you thought it was hard to convince people to get vaccinated before imagine now that being vaccinated still means wearing a mask. he has got a point. >> i think he sad it extremely well. look for us to have all had the vaccination and then people see us masking up again, they say, well why, why should i do that? these members of congress don't even believe they're protected after two vaccines. the truth you are protected. even the delta variant the

protection seems extremely good. new data acquired all the time. this deserves continued monitoring and study but i think mandates and now going back, taking a step backward on masking in the house of representatives is a grave misstep. the senate doesn't have to mask. they're older than we are. seems like they would be more at risk. i don't know what it is about the rotunda of the capitol that confers protection on our united states senators. i don't think it's a real thing. i think it's a fantasy. jackie: you bring up a great point. we've been told if we choose to get vaccinated we would be possibly protected from contracting the virus at all, but even if we did, we were that small percentage that was a breakthrough case, we would probably wouldn't be hospitalized or die from covid-19. that is why so many people chose to get vaccinated. if the deaths are in fact of those who have these tools in front of them but choose not to use them, at what point do we punish people who did the right thing for the actions of those

who might not be? >> yeah. great question. people should be able to figure that one out for themselves. and if you want to -- make no mistake about it, this delta variant it's a bad bug and it is making people very sick and it does seem to be more transmissible, but right no front of you is the protection that you need. so if you are eligible for a vaccine, talk it over with your doctor and we kind of gotten away from the big vaccine hubs. but the vaccines are in clinics, doctors offices. talk to your doctor. of. they are the ones who have your best interests in heart if you're concerned about taking the vaccine, have a, have a discussion with the person that you trust. jackie: congressman, real quick, last few seconds we have left here, here in new york city, mayor bill de blasio starting on friday, city-run vaccination

sites, you get 100-dollar incentive. i got vaccinated in march. where is my incentive? >> i don't know. i guess you will be waiting for it for some time. the incentive we don't get sick and we don't die. that should be enough incentive. this is the great thing about the vaccines. they came on board pretty quickly but they were fully tested. they are safe and they are so effective. can you imagine if this vaccine had only been 40 or 45% effective which is what they thought original? that is what they got in china. that is what they got in russia. jackie: part of the problem the cdc reversing course makes people lose confidence having the vaccine. at the tell me i got a vaccine, i still need to wear a mask but doctor, we're out of time. >> thank you so much. >> border sources saying that covid positive immigrants are sent to hotels and free to rome. the impact being felt 1000 miles away as covid infections rise across the country. we have the cdc as well as many

cities and counties calling for mask mandates and other restrictions but the biden administration border policies seem to be spreading the virus. texas congressman brian babin knows about it and he takes us inside what is going on the border next. >> if you are detaining people, catching people coming across the border, you need to test them. they need to go to quarantine. nolt. a place where everyone lives life well-protected. ♪♪ and even when things go a bit wrong, we've got your back. here, things work the way you wish they would. and better protection costs a whole lot less. you're in good hands with allstate. click or call for a lower auto rate today. only 6% of us retail businesses you're in good hands with allstate. have a black owner. that needs to change.

>> texas governor greg abbott takes matters into his own hand and listing the tash into texas national guard with migrant arrest at the mexico border the 50000 illegals are released into the united states without a court date, only a fraction bothered to report by officials, the reports coming from border patrol sources that covid positive illegal immigrants are being sent to local hotels to quarantine, there is nothing to stop them from leaving, watch democrat texas representative henry cuellar. >> you saw what happened they release people in a hotel but nobody watches them there were some that were sick, walking around. jackie: joining me now how supported security caucus

co-chair texas congressman brian babin, i want to get your reaction to that. >> it just shows the absolute hypocrisy of the biden administration when the cdc comes out with new guidelines for americans, even the u.s. house members are having to mask up again, here's the biden administration allowing covid positive illegal immigrants to come across we had 20000, i think it's a record. these people are being released into texas, they are supposed to be corn teaming at a local hotel because they tested positive and there's nobody saying that they need to stay there, they're not masking up or covering their mouths they were in a restaurant, police report in la jolla texas said there was many

customers and they were very concerned about this family there was obviously sick and sure enough when they question them they had been released supposedly in a hotel, they left the hotel and went to the restaurant spreading covid and there was nothing keeping them from going anywhere in the united states of america. it's overwhelming. jackie: i want to bring our viewers attention to what's happening in washington, d.c. voting has begun on the senate floor on a bipartisan infrastructure bill 60 votes are needed to pass in order to move to the debate stage, you can see the senator is gathering their for something we've been talking about for a good portion of tonight's show, i want to bring that update but i want to come back to the border conversation in covid as well to your point and mccowan texas, the city tested 5398 migrants for covid, 427 of those were positive, the

positivity rate is 7.9%, here in new york city when things were at 7.9%, the city was shut down. >> that just tells you the hypocrisy it is incredible to see the recklessness of the biden administration and the department of homeland security secretary mayorkas. what they're doing to the american people. you have to question their morale and he and their integrity and why in the world they would be putting people at risk and actually spreading during a pandemic and how in the world can someone even with a smidge of morality even with character to do something like this and they've sworn an oath to up will the constitution and to protect the american people and protect the migrants

themselves, they have invited these people and they're talking about, one of their bills of democrats will put amnesty they want them on a pathway to voting as quickly as they possibly can and the only solution to keep these people, keep us safe is title 42 public health restrictions turn these people back during a pandemic and deport everyone of them. jackie: real quick i want you to watch the soundbite at the la jolla police department, listen. >> if they want to leave and get in the car, we cannot stop them, we don't have no proof that there positive for covid-19. and until there is a mandate that gives us the authority to do that, we cannot stop these people from moving wherever they're going to move. jackie: your reaction and 15 seconds. >> my reaction, the federal government under president biden is endangering the national

security, or public health and a crime wave is weeping over our nation for many, many reasons but open borders is one of them, defunding the police and we absolutely have got to get a handle on our border, that's why i'm so proud of the state of texas for stepping in and stopping this ridiculous stuff. jackie: i'm running out of time but a great conversation. that is it for us, you are watching "the evening edit" on fox business. ♪ ♪ ♪. larry: hello everyone welcome back to "kudlow", i am larry kudlow. there is news we might have a bipartisan infrastructure deal let's go right away to hillary vaughn at the white house, what can you tell us hillary. >> this is a 550 billion-dollar bipartisan infrastructure deal that is $29 billion less then what the president was hoping
